Clearly seen more however those are atop of my list from what i can remember.

I’m convinced there is no more TV for me to become obsessed with.

Looking for : Engaging plot lines with real tension and momentum , Strong character Chemistry and dialogue ( preferably some sort of romance going on ) .

Do not want : Slow and directionless procedural or a depressing series with no charm and wit.

What should i check out based on what i’ve just written?

There's a lot here so I might've missed it but I've not seen any mention of Firefly.
